Therapy is life changing and enriching as you raise your awareness and learn new ways to mange your life and emotions. I believe one of the most courageous things a person can do is begin to understand their own story and the challenges that have brought them to therapy for guidance and support. In my 14 years of professional experienced that my clients have and demonstrate the capacity which all of us harbor which allows for healing, feeling better, cultivating fulfilling relationships and breaking through stuck points. Sometimes untangling a big knot takes a fresh pair of eyes.

I am thrilled to reopen the doors of my private practice, as I was not able to counsel for several months. I missed the challenge and satisfaction of working with the courageous people who choose to question the status quo and risk change. Everyone whether single.married,gay (LGBTQ), straight,parents, grandparents, adolescents,overweight, underweight, addicted, sober, angry, anxious or depressed.........all are deserving of a safe place to be heard, explore, understand and to be understood. My goal is to exercise my experience and expertise to create and support each client’s safe place.

You might live outside the box a little (or a lot). You live boldly and bravely and sometimes that feels scary and overwhelming. You dive into relationships, friendships and family and sometimes that means there are conflicts! You know you don't want to live an unexamined life, and you KNOW shame is sometimes riding shotgun and keeping you small. You'll hear me talk about shame and how it keeps us stuck. You'll receive training in mindful practices such as meditation, body scans, and visualization exercises. Most importantly, though, we will focus on what is important to you.

Carl Rogers, said all that's needed for effective therapy is a good relationship between the psychologist and the patient. A good psychologist needs to be empathetic and genuinely interested in helping, even sharing their own personal experiences when it would be helpful. A good psychologist accepts their patient for who they are and helps their patients accept themselves for who they are at this moment while they work towards achieving more meaning and happiness in their lives.

Are you feeling stuck? Past practices and coping that once served the purpose of protecting you from further difficulties, often become obstacles to your well-being as well as interfere with your functioning in relationships and community. When caught in the cycle of stress and / or trauma you may build a narrative that involves blaming of others and / or shaming and blaming yourself. By seeing the contributing biological, psychological, and social factors and by taking responsibility for changing the things you are capable of changing, you begin to successfully navigate obstacles. I am here to help.

I have been in the health/wellness field for 20+ years using strength based/holistic recovery approaches. Integrated/experiential therapy helps you re-claim your authentic spontaneous self, creating the life you wish to live. Addressing emotional/relational wounding truly opens the door to a more empowered and fulfilling life. You can increase your self-esteem and confidence, free yourself from depression/anxiety, negative self-talk, substance or process addictions, trauma triggers, and emotional reactivity in relationships. Sometimes therapy addresses current challenges/difficulties, sometimes it's about family of origin issues using inner child work, and/or trauma reduction work.
